NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The Forgotten First’ and ‘Parcells: A Football Life’ chronicle NFL history

It's Super Bowl weekend — so today's episode is all about football. First, a 2021 interview between NPR's A Martinez and former NFL wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson. Johnson's book The Forgotten First looks back at the racial politics of his beloved sport, and highlights four key players who desegregated the game back in the 1940s. Then, NPR's David Greene paid a visit to legendary coach Bill Parcells' home in 2015 and asked about his memoir, Parcells: A Football Life, and the coaching tree he left behind even after his retirement.

The Indicator from Planet Money - Why Saudi Arabia is building a new city in the desert

For decades, Saudi Arabia's economy has been defined by its abundant oil reserves. Its ability to influence global oil supply propelled Saudi Arabia to one of the richest countries in the world. The Saudi royal family became important players on the world stage. However, waning dominance in the oil market is forcing the Saudi government to think differently about its reliance on the commodity.

Today on the show, we explain Saudi Arabia's fantastical vision for its future and how the government is using its present influence in the oil market to fund it.

Bad Faith - Episode 345 – 2024 Is Toast (w/ Anat Shenker-Osorio)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

Host of Words to Win By, and Principal of ASO Communications, and political messenger extraordinaire Anat Shenker-Osorio joins Bad Faith to explain most why certain messages falter where others deliver. After conducting 3-4 focus groups a week for the last four years, she has real insights into what messaging works and what doesn't -- from "defund the police" to "MAGA Republicans." Do Dems have any chance messaging around Biden’s age? And are there limits to what messaging can do when voters are driven by ideological disgust of political actions like the siege of Gaza?

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Whiskey Rebellion

In the late 18th century, the newly independent United States of America faced its first major domestic crisis. 

Settlers in its westernmost regions rose up in open armed rebellion against the government. The cause of the rebellion had to do with the unique circumstances of the period as well as some laws that were not very well thought out.

The rebellion and its subsequent response were seen as a threat to the very existence of the new country. 

Learn more about the Whiskey Rebellion, its causes, and its ramifications on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Sarah Cooper’s memoir ‘Foolish’ is about her immigrant family, TikTok fame and comedy

Comedian Sarah Cooper blew up when her TikTok videos making fun of then-President Donald Trump's statements in press conferences went viral. Her new memoir, Foolish, recounts that moment in her life — but it also expands on Cooper's larger trajectory, from learning she was Black as the daughter of Jamaican immigrants to working at Google as an adult. She tells NPR's Leila Fadel just how surreal her rise in comedy has been, and why HomeGoods home decor actually dishes out some pretty wise life advice.
